This is from the Sioux Falls Press:

In speaking of the bill which is before
the legislature providing that it shall be
unlswfol to shoot quail in Dakota dur
ing the ensuing two Years, the Yankton
|sPress says: "This may be needed
in those portions of Dakota where the
effort is being made to intrcduce quail,
but in this locality it is an entirely un
necessary provision" Better send few
over this way,
Better come over and get some. There
are millions OF quail along the Missouri
river-the woods are full of them and
they are increasing at wonderful rate.
The bill to deprive Dakota sportsmen of
the privilege of shooting quail for a
couple of years is entirely unnecessary
Quail will thrive only in the Missouri
river thickets aud there they are SO
numerous ns to need no protection,

Davis has been Tor some weeks in the

concerning Dakota affairs. Under date

The News yields to no paper in it's
desire to see speedy justice done the
territory in the matter Of statehood, but
1t is willing to go on record as opposed
to all schemes which promulgate an
usurpation of power contrary to the
spirit and ideas of our forefathers-
aberdeen Neaos.
! Now if the News really means to aid
in getting at just conclusion in the
discussion now going on will it not
point out: /. Definitely, who If is tha;
is encouraging schemes (which promui.
gate an usurpation of power?' 2.
What was 'the spirit and ideas of the
forefathers" touching the question al
hand ?-DakotG Huronite
Our forefathers were the distinguished
gentlemen who laid the foundation fol
this government and that they bull,
wisely and we'll has been demonstrated
IN the subsequent career Of the republic
Ii the Aberdeen News desires to absorb
the spirit and ideas OF the forefathers,
whom it evidently respects we can com
mend it to no better source OF informa
tion than the original articles of eonfed
GRAFTON and the ordinance OF 1887, boil
OF which preceded the constitution. Th
News win there find that the forefathers
we're so fearful that their successors
might fall into the error of the then
parent government (England) rela.ivs
to the encouragement Of the existence o.
colonies that they provided against such
9 possibility by an irrepealable compact
between the original states and the out
lying territory. in which it was ordsin
ed that suoh colonies should not exist
beyond certain period of development
This compact stands to-day and has
been extended by congress to cover thu
region now known as Dakota. II the
News is really searching for the "spirii
snd ideas of the forefathers" we hope i
will act upon this brief hint.
